Abteilung 502 Filbert Brush 8 (ABT840-8)

Filbert brushes are the figure painter's secret weapon — the rounded flat head blends one layer into the next without leaving a hard edge, so skin tones and uniforms come out smooth and luminous. This size 8 Abteilung 502 is the largest of the range, made for coats, cloaks and broad areas where you want an even, feathered finish fast.

Best for

• Large surfaces — cloaks, coats and vehicle panels
• Applying filters and washes evenly over big areas
• Fast, patchiness-free base blending before detail work

When there's a lot of cloth or coverage to get through, the size 8 gets you there without streaking.

The size for big surfaces and broad blends. See the rest of the brush range, including the smaller size 6 filbert for finer figure work.
